This might have been a brief movie of round 12-15 minutes, for the reason that solely thrill that I used to be capable of get out of the film got here within the final two minutes of the characteristic. All the things main as much as it was everywhere. There was no readability of thought and the director’s imaginative and prescient barely got here by.

Amit Sadh tried to carry the sinking ship collectively with out a lot success. Baby actor Aaryan Menghji evoked full revulsion and shock at a couple of locations, so kudos to him. Nevertheless, issues might have been conveyed in a significantly better trend had the scriptwriter and filmmaker spent extra time within the writing room.
